Borat 2nd Reviewmovie

The Second Borat film also called Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bride to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan is a story by Sacha Braon Cohen who actually plays the character Borat Sagdiyev. Following the events of the first documentary/mockumentary, Borat 2 finds its hero in jail for treason for bringing dishonor to his homeland.  In order to secure his release, he is tasked with bringing a monkey to President Donald Trump.  When Borat discovers that the monkey cannot be delivered, he decides to give his daughter Tutar (Maria Bakalova) to Vice President Pence instead.

Now what’s interesting about this film is the amount of times he’s managed to infiltrate real-life Republican and Right Wing gatherings. When I first saw the film, I truly wasn’t for sure if he had actually attended some of these rallies until I looked online and indeed it was true. 

Sacha Baron Cohen actually went to the Conservative Political Action Conference that Mike Pence was at as his character Borat Sagdiyev dressed as Trump. In an interview he said how difficult it was for him to get in but as we see in the film he was successful. The second notable instance were he attended a real-life event was at a Far Right Wing rally full of militias such as “the Proud Boys” and racist groups like “Nazis”. Sacha even sang at the event but was quickly discovered and because of this fled in his van as people banged on the door.

But the final and perhaps the most controversial part of the film was when Borat 15 year-old daughter Tutar who was interviewing Rudy Giuliani and possibly almost had sexual intercourse. That said, we don’t know if Giuliani knew she was 15 years old and the real actress age is 24 but the situation as a whole is very strange. Giuliani thought Tutar was a journalist but Sacha as Borat stepped in telling Giuliani “STOP SHE’S 15!” as Giuliani took his hands out of his pants. In an interview Sacha Cohen said that situation was a bit scary because he didn’t want to get Maria hurt in any way. 

Overall these three instances are memorable in the film and somewhat effected the real world. With that said, the over-all film was interesting as it was slightly political but had a comedic effect to it. Personally I think the film was kinda funny but defiantly not a family film. 

Many curses words, sexual references and antisemitism, therefore the movie is rated R. But over-all the film is what I expected from a Sacha Baron Cohen story so if you like his previous work then you’ll like this movie.
